A 53-year-old Newtown driving instructor has been cleared of outraging public decency by lewd, obscene and disgusting behaviour at Reading Crown Court.

Tony Edwards, of Liverpool Road, admitted using his mobile phone to film girls' bottoms as they travelled up escalators in The Oracle shopping centre but told the court he had also filmed men and had filmed in a chocolate shop and in a jewellery store that afternoon because he was testing the video camera on his phone.
